Help those you love: On The Go Physio
Have you noticed mum or dad getting frail?
Indicators include weakness, weight loss, fatigue, difficultly with things that used to be easy such as getting up from a chair, or opening a jar. When someone you love shows signs of frailty, it can feel hopeless and inevitable, but it needn’t.
On the Go Physio offer a frailty assessment and 12-week intervention programme. Progressive strengthening, balance, and falls prevention exercises with dietitian input to ensure adequate nutrition can slow or even reverse frailty.
“Whether living at home or in a care facility, targeted and progressive strength training can help people regain strength and independence,” says physio and owner Jessie Snowdon.
